House Democrats Seek Trump-Epstein Special Counsel
Newsmax ^ | 10/26/2026

Posted on 10/26/2026 7:59:31 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd

House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a renewed investigation into President Donald Trump's past relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein if they regain control of the House in next month's midterm elections.

A 53-page report released Monday by Democrat staff on the House Judiciary Committee calls for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate allegations that Trump participated in Epstein's sexual abuse of young women in the 1990s, Politico reported.

The report, titled "The Case Against Donald Trump Emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ's Desperate Efforts to Cover It Up," alleges that the Justice Department withheld evidence and sought to shield the president from scrutiny.

When the DSA takes the House, they will do as they did before, kneecap the administration with non stop legal action.

Note that they want to limit the investigation to just Trump. Wonder why?

Does any rational person think that Biden would not have released any incriminating evidence against Trump? They were busy making up fake crimes because they didn’t have anything in the Epstein files.

Weird. Dems had access to “everything Epstein” under Obama, Clinton and Biden since Donald Trump appeared on the scene in 2015

Yet they choose waited 11 years to begin the process of manufacturing outrage in the media

Sounds very “color revolutiony....”

Are they going to investigate the 3 democratic appointed judges that are blocking the files release?

This is really sick stuff. The only high-profile individuals with ties to Epstein, such as Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman, are all Democrats.

With the help of the media, combined into the stupidity/ignorance of the American people, the Democrats are turning the Epstein case into a Republican problem. Really sick stuff.

I was just going to say. Want to investigate who all got caught into Epstein’s web? Bring it on!

But nooo... they want to limit it to the one guy that will turn out to be nothing-burger, unless they rig it with false claims, which they probably would. They don’t actually want to know how many times Bill Clinton was on the lolita expresss.

....”.....if they regain control of the House in next month’s midterm elections......”

..I am not a pessimist by nature, but from what I have heard and read, it is very likely that the Dems will indeed take control of the House....jus’ sayin’ .....

I have promised myself and my wife that if the Dems gain control of the House (God forbid the Senate), we will not, repeat WILL NOT, watch or listen to or read national political news until it's over, possibly in 2028, or if not then, whenever. We're old and maybe we'll go to our reward first, we'll have to see what happens.

The Democrats will form a Stalin-like committee, something similar to the J6 committee, and will hold televised prime time hearings filled with false testimony and lies.

This isn’t about rationality, this is about a show trial (possibly only in the media) of the sort Lavrentiy Beria would have recognized.

President Trump could have avoided all this potential show trial business by releasing all the files. Jeffrey Epstein is dead, others like Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew are well known sexual predators, and the majority of Epstein’s American “clients” were Democrats. I doubt Trump is mentioned in any instance of patronizing Epstein’s prostitutes or going to Pedophile Island or his facilities in Paris, New Mexico, and New York. Nothing breeds conspiracy speculation like hiding or redacting files.

Ascribing rational motivations to the Left these days is a fools game. They aren’t even trying any more.

Ask the women who were paid for sex. Most of them are still around and publicly known….pretending to have an investigation is a waste of money and time when you can just ask the people involved.
